Denim bucket hat by Maison Martin Margiela, $105.00 at Project No. 8 Bucket hats were never cool.  Bucket hats never will be cool.  Avey Tare is cool despite his bucket hats.  Even diehard Animal Collective fans think it looks dumb.  Imagine this is the beginning of 2009 and Merriweather Post Pavillion is the coolest thing out there.  In this situation, bucket hats are still not cool.  I know MMM is all about the high/low thing, but at a certain point, you are just spending a ton of money on something tacky and lame.

Destroyed jeans with attached lining by 7 for all Mankind, $198.00 at Tobi. Are we - the fashion buying public - so lazy that brands are now pre-layering our denim and leggings?  Or do they just think we are?

Distressed striped jeans by Sass & Bide, $255.00 at shopbop. Submitted by Sarah.  Remember that Mentos commercial from the 90s where the business man sits on the freshly painted bench, pops Mento, and then rolls on the bench to evenly paint pinstripes over his suit.  Remember thinking, “there is no way those stripes would look so even and clean.”  This is what that suit would actually look like… if it was actually a pair of low rise skinny jeans.

Denim washed Bayswater, $995.00 at Mulberry. It looks like Mulberry jumped on the D&G, skanky country bumpkin costume wagon.

Harem jeans by R13, on sale for $202.00 at Ssense. I think its really, really sweet that designers are now taking into consideration the adult diapers that their elderly clientele wear. View high resolution

Denim print sweater, $475.00 at D&G. Submitted by Chrys.  Sometime ago I considered posting this Alexander Wang denim covered hoodie, but I decided that it was stupid, but not ugly enough to warrant a post.  This takes that idea to a new level.  Is there really a market out there for trompe l’oeil denim?  What is even worse is that it appears to be a motif D&G are running with.

Acid wash denim sweatpants, $70.00 at Topman. Submitted by Kevin.  A few days ago, some friends showed me PajamaJeans. They were worried that this novelty lounge pant would make its way outdoors and be worn in public.  I laughed off their fears, thinking it could never happen.  Today, I received this submission and realized that I was very naive.

Tight leather patch jean by Cheap Monday, on sale for $29.95 at Karmaloop. Why are the leather pieces so clean and geometric on a distressed jean?  It seems haphazard to me.  No wonder they are on sale for over half the original sale price. Oh, and they are also really ugly.
